Hi,

we are in the process of implementing a client-server application using
OS/2 1.3 at the moment, but we will move to OS/2 2.x soon. The server
is supposed to be running on a OS/2 machine with several OS/2, DOS/Windows
and Unix clients accessing the server functions via RPC.

Has anybody done something like that before and can recommend books/articles
on RPC programming in a mixed environment ? Is the mixed environment
idea feasible in the first place ?

What kind of RPC libraries are available for OS/2 1.3 and OS/2 2.0 ? On
which communication protocols is the RPC mechanism based ? TCP/IP ?

If it is TCP/IP, would it still be possible to connect the OS/2 server to
a Netware network which uses IPX/SPX as the underlying protocol ?


Thanks for any info, Ernst.
